Once upon a time, in a little town by the water, a lantern burned bright in the newsroom window — lighting the way for truth, freedom and community.
This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help us keep that lantern burning.
Join us for “Light the Lantern,” an open house celebrating local journalism and the people who keep it alive.
Meet our team, see our newsroom, and enjoy an afternoon of storytelling, refreshments and reflection.
🕰️ Schedule
Noon – 6:00 p.m.
Drop in anytime for cider, cookies and conversation with our newsroom team.
4:30 p.m. — “Lighting the Lantern” Program
A short reading from The Lantern and the Chains, our Giving Tuesday story inspired by A Christmas Carol, followed by a short program.
All Afternoon — Sign up for a Lantern-Led Walking Tour
Take a guided walk through La Conner’s journalism history with town scribe and historian Bill Reynolds. “Stories of News Past” brings the legacy of local reporting to life — one story, one corner one lantern at a time. Sign up here:
